Fun Stories

I don't remember why, but last night Josh and I were talking about these stories. Most of them happened during my college years and all of them are true.

*Story 1--on a flight back to college several WWF people were on the flight. Actually they were sitting right by me in the airport--I believe in Atlanta. I think they sat in the waiting area by me b/c they figured I would have no clue. I had a suspicion, but didn't know exactly who until they announced it on the plane--the large men kind of gave it away. Come to think of it, we were all together for awhile in Atlanta during a layover.

Story 2--Chris Sligh (top ten finisher from American Idol)--went to college with me, in fact same class.

Story 3--the guy that sat right next to me in my freshman college math course won $1 million dollars because he got the gray M&M from the package. He bought the pack of M&M's on campus and then was mysteriously missing for a little over a week. He was gone because he went on the Rosie O'Donnell show as well as Letterman and maybe others.

Story 4--My great friend from college and roommate met and hung out with Shaq for several hours while she was modeling in NY one summer. It was at the Waldorf Astoria. Yes, she has pictures of it.

Story 5--While at a Chicago Cubs game, Ryne Sandberg came and was standing next to us before the game and this lady got his autograph and started crying--literally. I'm pretty sure I was laughing.

Story 6--In Chicago this summer, we saw Chris Rock & his wife up very close, Oprah, and many Olympians. Yes, this was the day my camera was dead from all of the pictures we had taken earlier in the week. It's ok, we don't like go crazy when we see people, but it is cool to see people that you have only always seen on TV or in movies. Honestly, they look exactly the same as they do on tv.

Story 7--when I was a senior in HS, one of our teachers heard that the Governor was going to be coming in to the local airport. It was Governor Edgar, NOT any of our several infamous BAD Illinois Governors. Anyway, as it turned out he did a press conference and our class got to meet him along with several other of the people that held office at the time including the lady that ran against Blago unsuccessfully in 2006.

I could tell you that Josh was nudging/hitting me in the back a couple of years ago because now Congressman Schock was at an event we went to and he was making sure I saw him--umm yes thanks, Josh I did see him. A few weeks later, he was eating at Chili's with his then-girlfriend. I guess she is no longer b/c when the Today show interviewed him a few weeks ago he said he was single. He's Congress hottest freshman you know--not that there's any competition since he's the only 20 something in Congress--lol!

Anyway, there's a little stroll down memory lane for fun. If only I had purchased more M&M's that year in college....
